Medicare
for all July 12, 2014 -- Another hero! Michigan's Congressman John Conyers has reintroduced House of Representatives Bill HR 676, known as Medicare for All. It would establish a long-overdue single-payer healthcare system in this country, along with several more much-needed reforms. Its chances of passage? Zero. But it is the right thing to do. We mustn't give up. Go Rep. Conyers! |
